About Robert Self, Jr.

Robert Self, Jr., son of “Old” Robert Selfe, born ca. 1673 (adult in 1793 - 25 years)

Origins

Memorial Study

Since we have no positive dates, we need to make a few logical deductions. We'll use 25 years as the age for their first record, and go back to an alleged birth-date or birth-order.

Robert Selfe was born about 1630 (1655 first record or thereabouts - 25 years), we assume, in England. We believe he was first married to a Mary ______(), and secondly to Jane _______, born 1643(). Our first record of him in America is in 1665, the date of the patent of his 300 acres. With his death coming in 1717.

His four known children are: Ref; v1 p55, v6 p92, v8 p67, v9 p14.

  1. Robert Self, born ca. 1673 (adult in 1793 - 25 years)Descent by deed of 1711. Ref: SFN v1 p54, v6 p93, v9 p96.
  2. John Self, born ca. 1674 (adult in 1699 - 25 years), died 1733.(will) Descent by deed of 1704 and by fathers will. Wife was Sussannah Blentone. Ref: SFN v1 p10, v8 p67, v1 p55, v9 p16, v1 p33.
  3. Stephen Self, born ca. 1675. Descent by deed and by fathers will. Ref: SFN v8 p67, v9 p96, v12 p85.
  4. William Self, born ca. 1677 (adult in 1702 - 25 years)descent by deed. Ref: v1 p10, v12 p86.

In 1688 there is mention of a Christopher Selfe, age about 14, who is a witness in a trial in which Robert Selfe was the juror. (Can he do that?) This Christopher Selfe is not named anywhere as a child of Robert Selfe.
